Relaxing, great diving, tasty meals

Chindonan is located in a remote place and I had no problem getting there after being picked up at the port from the ferry - 45 minute speedboat ride. I came here for the diving and it did not disappoint. The food at the restaurant was tasty and offered a variety, including for vegetarians. All units require many steps to get there so it’s not for those who don’t want or cannot walk distances and stairs.

Worst experience of my life

My experience at the hotel was very terrible and very bad. It was the worst experience of my life. The staff over there was totally not helpful. They charge for literally everything and there are so many hidden costs. They charge for snorkelling gear aswell and they even charge for towels And they don't tell about this at first only at the time of final billing they include all the charges. Dive instructor / Manager -Kenith (Denmark) is very bad and rude and he doesn't know how to behave with customers. He was not helpful and he was very rude and he doesn't know how to talk to ladies aswell I will definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone Don't go there at all You will have a very bad experience. Dive instructor Shawn from UK is really good and he was helpful and scuba diving with him was out of the world But other than that the experience was really really bad

We loved this resort! The views are fantastic! Each unit has a terrace for sitting and enjoying the views. They also have made several other places with comfortable chairs and hammocks to sit and enjoy the time. All sorts of water sports are available: kayaks, snorkeling, island hopping, and of course diving! We are not divers but we loved everything else. I went out snorkeling right in front of the resort, straight from our lounge chair. It was gorgeous. Everything we did was gorgeous! The staff is super nice and professional. The food was delicious. We loved it all. Jut a warning: my husband and I are in our 70s and this resort is geared towards a younger set. You have to hop on and off boats and there is a lot of climbing of stairs. But for us it was no problem. Just be warned that if you have mobility issues, this isn't the place for you. Otherwise, we are going back for sure!!

Ken, Sean, Johanas and thw diving crew were excellent. The resort is well positioned to access all the ship wrecks in the bsy. The local girls who operate the kitchen were fantastic. Evening buffet provided great meals and a variety of seafood, curries and fresh salads. I can highly recommend this resort for those divers who wish to be in the middle of the Coron Bay and direct access to the wrecks.

Quaint... this is a family owned and operated place that is very upscale hostel. A lot of work to keep the place up as it’s semi remote.. The operator has done a lot of work to make the place work. The food is quite good as the breakfast and dinners are included in the daily rate. Lunch is okay and not overly expensive... wonderful staff All of them. Good value

Not kid friendly! Will not go back again!

Cons: The owner is very arrogant, rude and dislikes kids. He is present the entire time and watches every single move of yours very closely which made us felt uncomfortable. He constantly complained about the kids when he saw them in the common area.The room was without AC when requested for AC we were charged p800 per night. There was extra charge for bed per kid p2300 therefore our entire stay total cost was doubled not to our expectation. We only needed one bed but the owner said he would charges us for 2 regardless cus we had two kids. Worst of all! the running water for shower was worst, it was literally droplets of water for shower. Fyi; the owner’s dog is loose and all over the place in case you are afraid of dogs.Barely any internet to none. Basically not a kid friendly environment. Overall felt we were way overcharged! Pros: Great local ladies with very friendly and good customer service at front desk and kitchen. Daily breakfast and dinner was served freshly. The ladies went out of their way to help you. Island hoping and scuba diving lessons and instructors were good

Amazing location

Amazing off the grid location, with very nice snorkeling and diving spots. The resort is very basic, but with great service. If anything they could probably upgrade the rooms a little bit, with maybe aircon and a nicer shower. The experience and also service in this place are so amazing though that it doesnt matter. Thanks for a great trip!!

Great place for scuba diving or just relaxing!

Stayed for four nights. Scuba dived on two days and just relaxed and did some snorkeling on the other two. Transfers from and to mainland/airport is included in the price. So is dinner. Friendly people, professional scuba instructors and good food. What else can you ask for?

Close to dive sites. Owners treat you as family.

Small personalized service. Chindonan Island is about an hour's boat ride from town, which you can consider as a tour if you identify the islands and sites along the way. It's close to where the wrecks are. Quiet, secluded, very private, laid back. The only problem is that internet is slow, but so it is as well in Coron.

Snorkelers and Divers paradise.

Situated on a beautiful island off a coral reef. There are no other hotels or shopping areas around, a nice get away place from traffic, crowds, noise, etc. Truly wonderful. Day trips can be arranged for diving around the area which has a large amount of sunken WW2 battle ships in the area- a diver's delight. I am not a diver so stayed around the resort and did snorkeling. Clear water and saw many beautiful fishes, colors and life. I wanted a place of quiet and some solitude and got it. I slept, read, swam and eat when I wanted. I am a large man, 6'2" with size 13 (USA) feet. Yet, the staff provided me with aquatic shoes and snorkeling gear of my size. Very helpful. So I didn't need to take anything. The food was excellent. Served crab, lobster, fish, etc. Beautifully prepared. Important note...the advertisement stated continental breakfast is provided...but actually more is for no charge. The continental breakfast was a normal breakfast with options of omelettes- vegetable or cheese- with bacon or ham and toast. Pancakes and other is provided at extra charge. And dinner is provided with room. A small buffet of seafood and local Filipino dishes with desert. No lunch is provided but is offered at a charge (sandwich, etc.). Alcoholic drinks and other such as natural mango shakes are offered for a charge. But not expensive. So you get more food with the room than one realizes. Highly recommendable. Hope more people take advantage of Chindonan Resort.

Paradise island became hostage island

When we discover the bill, we were not agree to pay the tranfert (very expensive 4500 pesos) because it had to be free (as mentionned in hotel.com). The owner became suddenly an other man, agressiv, violent and we felt like Hostages in a crook island. Be careful, a dangerous man. We refused to.pay and finaly he accepted. Atmosphere was creepy. This doesn't concern philipinos who were friendly. Avoid this island
